Got in a debate with the cap driver today about #Bitcoin.

He was a big Dogecoin fanboy and argued that he can't spend Sats fast enough.

I downloaded Phoenix with him, paid for his channel opening and gave him the 3 minute intro to Lightning and Layer solutions.

He looked at me and said cool, but where can I invest this Lightning token?

The Fiat world has ruined people's ability to recognize the most basic need.

Paying for your stuff with a disinflationary currency and something that isn't relying on a centralized entity or influencer is way more important for humanity than the ability to earn a fake yield.

When I explained to him Elon's influence over Doge and how we first need to fix the money, to fix the world, he shrugged and wished me a nice day.

Although the interaction was frustrating at first, it showed me that we have explain things much simpler and show people why we do, what we do.

Anyway, weird Saturday rant over.

The pain of opening a lightning channel is what’s stop non-custodial lightning wallet growth. Even the big influencers in btc space are using custodial wallets including myself for things like nostr. It just much easier.

I been researching and reading into Bip-300 lately and I think it will massively solve this painful experience. I recommend taking a look 👀.
